Nice Rearends
Here is a picture of my 02 Z with my sons 56 Ford Pro-Street. Finally nearing completion. We started the project when he was 15 he is now 29. Had several years of it just setting in the garage. Of course it is Chevy powered! Balance and Blueprinted 350 and 700 R4 trans, 4 wheel discs and coil overs all around.
I hope you are able to get the picture I am not really great at doing this.

color
The color is a custom mixed by our painter and body guy. We actually started with a Corvette color from 1996 and went from there.
I can't believe how big the pictures came out? I brought them over from a web site called Tiny Pics? Not to Tiny!

nice rear
The Truck is a 56 Ford with Chevy running gear. It is a little old school with ladder bar suspension. The new stuff is air suspension but I had all of the running gear finished around 1997 so it was up to date then. The rearend is from a Mustang and is an 8.8 Posi unit. It has Fiberglass 3" wider than stock rear fenders to handle the large tires and the back has been tubbed 7". My next job is putting the bed wood in. I have some special Cypress that was sent to me from a friend in Burma that when finished will have Red and Yellow hues in it to match the truck, I hope?

Built Ford Tough with Chevy Stuff.
Granted, what do most Chevy guys put under their cars? Ford 9"s.

In windows, I right click on the picture and select send to mail recipient. It will then ask if the picture should be reduced. After you say yes, simply drag the picture from the mail message to your desktop, and cancel the mail message.

Very nice pair of hot-Rods, congrats.
The picture size is fine, at least on my computer with a 19" widescreen, but too big for my standard 15" square screen. I use photobucket also and you can resize the picture for web posting and it fits all screens.

rearend
Thanks for the help with the pictures. Today was another day working on the truck. It has a leaking powersteering pump so I am replacing it and a new high pressure hose. It has a Mustang II rack so I have to have the hoses made. Hopefully next week will be the first real driving time for it. I plan on getting it 4 wheel aligned to make sure it goes straight. I'll Post new pics as soon as I have it on the street, you never know it might even be doing a burn out! My son never looks at the this forum so he won't know!
